Individually, he Billiat had a clean sweep in 2016 when he was voted the Player-of-the-Season, Players’ Player-of-the-Season, and bagged the Midfielder-of-the-Season gong as well.
“It is good for players like Khama to win his last championship with us and give him a good farewell,” said his coach Mosimane.
“Five years with us and he has done exceptionally well for us and we have to accept that he has to move on. It is good, he has contributed and it is the best way for Khama to leave… leaving on a high note,” Mosimane added.
The jury is still out on Billiat’s future as he has been linked with a move abroad and some rumors liking him to some top teams in the Premier Soccer League.
